🚨DEEPFAKE VIDEO ALERT!

Pakistani propaganda accounts are circulating a digitally altered video of Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi with false claims alleging that he said: 'I have now requested Prime Minister Modi to get me in touch with the director, Ranjan Agnihotri, so that I can give him the proper information and a script for his upcoming movie on Sindoor operations.'

#PIBFactCheck:

⚠️ Beware! This is an '#AI-generated deepfake video' shared to mislead the public.

✅ General Upendra Dwivedi has made NO such statement.

When they land Americans on the moon next year, Trump will claim that part of the moon, at least. I am not kidding. Or he may claim the entire moon as American. Please don't cite me rules and agreements. He's also likely to militarize the moon saying "If we don't, China will."

India literally had its own DeepSeek moment via Sarvam, yet it’s not even celebrated 1% the way China’s DeepSeek was celebrated by us, especially when Indians used that achievement to criticise India.

I seriously don't get it.

[Milind Mohul Ghosh @milindmghosh]

I am not an AI expert but it seems Sarvam has made India join USA and China (and maybe France) as only the third (4th?) country with 105 Billion + parameters. This is an insane achievement. Congratulations to all involved.

[Arun 🌞 @arunv2808]

This is actually a big surprise!

Great going Sarvam team.

India's own Coursera. Thousands of free courses. Exams and certification by govt for a small fee. Been there for so long. Not many youngsters or learners in India will know about it. Why? As usual poor PR and communication from GoI. MIB is the most weak ministry to put it mildly. It needs a new young dynamic MP heading it with a capable defense personnel leading infowar and counter psyops. This one reform and reshuffle by @PMOIndia will help India tremendously from its soft power to economy. It will even benefit the ruling govt, I assure. Please do it at least for politics sake. 🙏 https://t.co/ALnnEf1brG

Saw these current NCERT books at the World Book Fair. This is the Teacher Training Manual where they have copy-pasted the entire toxic Western gender ideology into the training.

🇮🇳🇦🇷 Messi just released the video of his India Tour on his Instagram (510M followers!)

⚽ But what do people in FIFA think about his visit?

We just had a call with 2 executives of FIFA ecosystem, sitting in Europe, who want to remain anonymous.

🧾 Their unfiltered feedback:
▫️ He got paid approx. 30 million dollars for the tour (300 Cr)
▫️ The overall quality of content shot (photos and videos) is extremely poor. Many football associations from small countries have better visuals. They said that Indian weddings have great pictures, so why not for Messi?
▫️ The statue is embarrassing more than anything else
▫️ The event was NOT to showcase India. It was a tour made by Indians to make money from Indians. This type of foreign tour is unusual.
▫️ It’s a totally different philosophy from other countries like China or Saudi Arabia who also pay big amounts of money for top influencers but use them to promote their country
▫️You can see that there is nothing Indian in his visit. We saw nothing about Indian growth, Indian aesthetics, Indian culture… (except the very last part). The video that just got released on Messi’s social media could have been shot in any stadium in the World
▫️ They hated the fact that many politicians were involved. For them it is a habit used by dictators to promote their PR in their country. They sanctioned two very specific countries for similar behavior. It took them time to say the names, but those countries are Cameroon and Congo Brazzaville. India might now fall in the same category. Even China and Saudi Arabia which are openly not democratic don’t do it.
▫️ The most professional part was the meeting with Anant Ambani. They sent us some videos to show the level of professionalism. Indian symbolism was also present
▫️ They recommend pushing Messi to post the sequence with the tiger and Indian attire
▫️ For the money spent they could have asked much more of Messi, they didn’t use him at his potential at all. Let’s remember that he has 510M followers on Instagram, only Ronaldo has a bigger account.
▫️ For example, he should have made a big announcement. He should have leveraged foreign media…
▫️ The easiest way to pay back a visit of this type is to promote some tourism sites. It’s the basic goal of those foreign visits. They used the example of the streamer iShowSpeed in China which is an inspiration for them and should be for us. Not doing it is a big, missed opportunity for tourism inflow
▫️ The whole event was organized by a private individual. This is a mistake that should not be reproduced

⚠️Important: Our contacts want to remind people of India that FIFA was not in charge of this visit and has no responsibility here even if they follow and track everything in the football world.

⁉️If you have questions they agree to answer them. You can post them in comments.
Keep in mind that both are French and even if they travelled 3 times to India, they are not expert of the country.

🗒️Note from Kutniti Foundation:

As you know we analyze every day everything said about India in foreign newspapers and social media (even TikTok).

We noticed little coverage of his visit. The only angles were:
▪️ The chaos in the stadium showing India as a violent and mismanaged country
▪️The Messi statue, mocked as cheap
▪️ The wife of the politician in Kolkata who forced Messi twice to take a selfie with her, becoming a meme
▪️ A wave of abusive jokes about Rodrigo De Paul, either insulting him or implying a romance with Messi (nothing to do with India)

🏅 Our overall impression is that this private initiative may seriously harm India’s bid for the 2036 Olympic Games.

Tejas crashed today — only the 2nd time in 21 years since its maiden flight. Immediately, narratives and propaganda began.

But let’s talk facts👇

• 🇺🇸 F-35: 12 crashes (most advance in the world)
• 🇺🇸 F-16: 250+ crashes (only in US)
• 🇨🇳 J-10C: 2 crashes (in 5 yrs)
• 🇨🇳/🇵🇰 JF-17: 5 crashes (Chinese competitor of Indian Tejas)
• 🇷🇺 Su-30: 14 crashes in India alone

Fighter jets are complex machines — crashes don’t define their capability, evolution does.

Tejas is ours.
Tejas is world-class.
Tejas will only get better. ✈️🇮🇳🔥

In today’s world, access to the right information is as important as access to food, water & shelter. Every Indian must make a conscious effort to read credible news - because informed citizens build a stronger nation. 🇮🇳🇮🇳

METHODOLOGY
How do we qualify an article as Negative, Neutral or Positive? It’s very simple. We ask ourselves the question: “After reading this article, is my perception of India better, same or worse?” And because today articles are mostly seen via social media we give weight in that order to: the illustration picture, the title, the first lines, the full text.
